2.1 Initial Data Analysis (IDA)
RStudio has many data sets already loaded in. The example below uses preloaded data direct from RStudio example dataset: mtcars.
Read about the mtcars data set.
In the rmd file, you will see how you can load your own dataset from either 1) an online source using a URL or 2) a local file on your own computer.

- The data came from two different sources. The weather data came in two different data sets from the [Bureau of Meteorology] (http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/data/) website and the sale data of alcoholic beverages came from a local store in Sydney. We are using data from both resources and combining the into one big dataset. a

2.2 Research Question 1
How does the maximum temperature affect the consumer decision when purcahsing alcohol?
Looking at the values of the median and mean purchase transactions we see that there is not much change in consumer behaviour over the temperature ranges 15-35 degrees. However the more extreme temperature values have more of an effect. During the coldest times (10-15 degrees) there is a definate drop in amount of money spent per purchase. During the very hottest periods 40-45 degrees there is also a massive drop in amount spent on each transaction. However it is worth noting that there were very few transactions during that time. Another very interesting spike in sales occured at the 35-40 temperature range. This could be because people drink more alcohol, however these would be regular temperatures during Christamas time when people are on vacation and drink more alcohol in general.
temp = data$Maximum.temperature..Degree.C.
data$tempGroups = cut(temp, c(10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45))
#Transaction sizes for each temperature range
meanPerPerson = aggregate(data$Total ~ data$tempGroups, data, mean)
medPerPerson = aggregate(data$Total ~ data$tempGroups, data, median)
transactions = merge(x = meanPerPerson, y = medPerPerson, by='data$tempGroups')
names(transactions) = c('Temperature', 'Mean_total', 'Median_total')
